Lace dresses aren’t just for weddings. This summer look from HRH proves it.
You probably haven’t seen this 1999 gown before, but I wanted to share. It proves how bold Elizabeth can be.
The Elizabeth Line is lilac, and the queen sure knows how to dress memorably for an occasion.
While pink is a common favourite for Her Majesty, there’s a lot of yellow in her back catalogue.
Making the Met Gala look like child’s play… It’s rare we see such stunning gowns these days.
